Tokyo girls have a big problem

Chapter 3 System, write a novel for me!

【Please select the subject】

Is it really possible?

Qingshan Li pondered.

He was an ordinary high school student, with only an A in his useless 'beauty'. He was the kind of person who had a nice face, but that was all that was good about him.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, it is best to write a novel that is consistent with your identity.

For example, light novels with childish writing style but novelty.

But he chose money.

"What do you think," he asked the two sisters, "is the most profitable novel to write?"

"Why do you ask this?" Meihua asked curiously.

"Are you planning to write a novel?" Miyue glanced at the pen and paper in his hand. "I thought you were going to study. I suggest you study hard."

"Just answer my questions," said Judge Aoyama.

"I'm not sure," Mika said, looking thoughtful. "A book that won the Akutagawa Prize or the Naoki Prize?"

"No, no." Mitsuki shook her head. "It's a mystery novel. In Japan, mystery novels are definitely the most popular and profitable."

"I've never seen it before." Qingshan Li said to himself.

Can you write about a book you haven’t read?
"System, don't let me look down on you!"

——A campus mystery novel, the protagonist is a high school sophomore, and his main ability is his extraordinary appearance.

【Starting material collection: 1%, 2%, 3%】

Is this the beginning?

Qingshan Li held the pen tightly in his hand.

Even if the system's products are not phenomenal works, they can at least reach the threshold of best-sellers. Even if there are only 10 copies, it can probably earn millions of yen, right?

Millions.
It’s better not to think too much.

He would be satisfied as long as he didn't have to eat curry for three days, had two sets of clothes for each season, could afford the latest mobile phone, pay the water, electricity and phone bills, and have a little savings.

'Come on, system, pull me up from the floor of my life!'

73%, 74%

The progress bar stopped.

--what happened?

【Insufficient materials, please collect materials】

"Do you want me to move it myself?" Qingshan Li turned his pen.

"Lijun, you seem to be in a good mood. Have you got any inspiration?" Sister Meihua asked with a smile.

"You must be imagining yourself surrounded by six, seven, or eight heroines," Mitsuki uttered an unwarranted accusation.

To increase strength and speed, one needs to endure pain;
To improve intelligence, you need to spend time studying;

To improve your housework skills, you need to do it yourself;
Writing a novel requires material
well.

This made him feel at ease.

"What six, seven or eight heroines? Four or five will be enough. By the way, can I draw inspiration from you?" asked Aoyama Riki.

".The heroine?" Meihua stopped ironing.

"It depends on the situation. Anyway, use it in the right place." Qingshan Li replied.

"Just don't use your real name," she said.

"That's fine with me, but give me half of the royalties, no, one third will be enough." Miyue spread her hands.

"I'll give it all to you." Qingshan Li was not interested in money.

He just wanted the Ono sisters to be happy, and if that meant a lifetime of poverty, he was willing to do so.

Aoyama Ri fell into deep thought again.

When it came to finding sources of material, all he could think of was reading and his own experiences.

He had no money to read books, but fortunately there were libraries, both in school and in the city.

As for experience, just repeating my previous school life is probably useless. I am already in the '74%' and need new experiences.

"I'm going out for a while." Qingshan Li put away his pen and paper. "Where to?" Meihua looked up.

Osamu Aoyama, who is already much taller than the average height of Japanese men, looks even taller from this angle, as if he is supporting the roof of this house.

"Library, I'll be back soon."

"Now?" Mitsuki asked.

“Seize the present, and you will have the future.”

"I'll go with you." Mitsuki tried to stand up.

"No need." Qingshan Li held her shoulders, "I'm fine now."

[Material Collection Progress: 75%]

What does that mean? Just seeing Ono Mitsuki's neckline from above can increase the progress?
Then wouldn't it be 100% if she took off all her clothes?!
Aoyama Ri walked out of the house and took a deep breath of the slightly cool early spring air. He identified the direction and walked towards the Adachi Ward Central Library.

"Walking on the road like this, can I let the system guide me?" he thought as he walked.

Exercise 'speed'?
Will he become a strange guy running on the street?
Qingshan Li gave up the idea of ​​making use of all his time. Now his destination was the library. He knew where to go, so he didn't need the system to guide him.

Perhaps, the so-called guidance system is only suitable for use when he doesn't know what to do or how to do it.

The lights from pachinko parlors, convenience stores, etc. formed spots of light on the ground, and Aoyama Ri's back was sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

Standing on the small bridge, Aoyama Ri looked at the lights of the izakaya reflected on the Sumida River.

I really became a Japanese high school student and came to Tokyo.

The night breeze is blowing, and there is already some warmth of spring. Well, spring is the season for new beginnings.

When he arrived at the library, he used his student ID to apply for a free library card.

"Excuse me, where are the mystery novels?"

"Third floor."

"Thank you."

The books on the bookshelf are somewhat curled at the edges because they have been borrowed many times.

Aoyama Ri knew nothing about mystery books and had never read any. Because of this, it was easy for him to choose - he borrowed two of the most borrowed books, two of the current best-sellers, and a campus novel.

There was no rush to leave.

He browsed around the library casually. Even if his 'material progress' couldn't be significantly increased, this was something he had never done before, and it wouldn't be in vain.

Even if this book is not useful now, the next book and the next book will be useful sooner or later.

"'An amazing method that even the most rigid person can easily do the splits'?" He looked at the books on the shelf.

It is also very popular.

I have experience in systematically helping people develop strength in fitness. Is there enough material to write a book about fitness?
——System, write a book about fitness.

【Starting material collection: 1%, 2%, 3% 21%】

【Insufficient materials, please collect materials】

Even less than campus reasoning?!

He then discovered that novels with themes of delicate emotions and youth growth also seemed to have a good market.

——System, write a novel about daily campus love.

【开始取材：1%、2%、3%、4%、5%、6%、7%、8%、9%】

【Insufficient materials, please collect materials】

Nani? !
Nine percent?!
Qingshan Li, you have lived two lives!
Although I haven’t been in love in this life, it’s not as high as 9%!

and many more.

Aoyama Ri stood in front of the bookshelf, lost in thought.

Then why is the progress of "Campus Reasoning" 74 - now 75?

Is it because he's never been in a relationship? And his main strength is his good looks?
Could it be that he had accumulated a lot of experience in appearance without realizing it?

"Hello, do you need help?" a female librarian asked softly.

"No, thank you." Qingshan Li looked up and smiled, then left with the book he was going to borrow.

Looking back, no woman had ever taken the initiative to give him money, and Qingshan Li was puzzled.
